Peroxisome
Myosin

Peroxisome (choice A) is an organelle involved in various metabolic processes within the cell. Myosin (choice B) is a protein involved in muscle contraction and is a component of the cytoskeleton. RNA (choice C) is a molecule that plays a crucial role in protein synthesis and gene expression, but it is not a component of the cytoskeleton.
